Yet another thread on pretty much the same subject as about five others currently?

Jeez

Agree about Benitez but what have you got against Martinez?  Of all the names mentioned he is the one I would like at VP.
He's on the up, not been around the block 100 times, shown a knowledge of good cheaper foreign players.

He's a risk I agree and us as Villa fans need to accept a season of transition (I know we've just had one but thats not his fault) where we might only finish 8-12.  MON only got 11th in his first season remember.  But with the risk comes the potential that he could transform the club (look at Swansea now - he is a big part of their success).  We know what we'll get with Benitez, Hughes etc. and frankly it don't seem that exciting.  Martinez is a bit of a punt but might just come off in a Brian Little/John Gregory kind of way (hopefully not a Jozef Venglos way).

If for one would rather the risk than the same old names.

There's absolutely no need at all for yet another manager thread.
